New YORK, August 23d.-ISpeciaI 1.-The
Times says editorially Among the results of
the real estae boom in Southern California is
the remarkable increase in the value of taxable
property as rated by County Assessors. For ex-

H7 per cent, while in San Francisco only S2l :
$1,000 has been added TO the assessment roll.
Is this an actual increase, and can it be main
tanned? Is it not rather the result of wild spec
u!ation. which temporarily inflated values?'
